In fact, before using any third-party cleanup tools, it's usually more effective and safer to use the tools that come with Windows to clean up the actual files that are causing the registry to bloat.
Free Registry Cleaner for Windows 10 and Windows 11:
Method 1: Use Disk Cleanup
- Press Win + R to open the Run window, type cleanmgr and press Enter.
- Select the system home disk in the pop-up window and click OK.
- Check the All Files category and click OK to delete the selected files.
- This will remove the redundant data that often creates associated registry entries.
Method 2: Use System File Checker
- to search for cmd, right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow in the command window and press Enter.
- utility will automatically scan and repair corrupted Windows system files.
Doing what I did will solve the underlying problem more thoroughly than just cleaning the registry.
